Finding Text
REPORTABLE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS AWARDED UNDER THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
2023-004 Federal Reporting Deadline
Criteria – 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, § 200.512(a)(1) requires the School’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package to be submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or 9 months after the end of the audit period.
Condition – The School’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within 9 months after the end of the audit period.
Questioned Costs – Not applicable.
Context – The School’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse by the federal reporting deadline.
Repeat Finding – This is a current year finding.
Cause – The audit of the School’s SEFA for the year ended June 30, 2023, was not completed within the 9-month reporting period. Completion of the School’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, which is a required component of the federal reporting package, was delayed. The completion of the School’s audited annual financial statements was delayed pending obtaining sufficient audit evidence.
Effect – The delay in the completion of the School’s financial audit for the year ended June 30, 2023, prevented the submission of the required information to the federal audit clearinghouse in a timely manner.
Recommendation – We recommend the School ensure the timely submission of its audited SEFA and federal reporting package to the federal audit clearinghouse in the future.
View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Actions – There is no disagreement with the audit finding. School management will ensure that all information required to comply with federal reporting requirements will be completed and submitted in a timely manner going forward. The School has separately issued a Corrective Action Plan related to this finding.
